Which process is used in smelting during metallurgy of copper?
Options
- ASelf reduction of copper
- BCu ₂ ~S is converted into Cu ₂ O
- CFeS is converted into FeO
- DReduction of Fe
Correct answer
C. FeS is converted into FeO
Step-by-step solution
Smelting of Cu results in slag formation and matte formation. aligned FeS + Cu ₂ O & FeO + Cu ₂ ~S FeO + SiO ₂ & FeSiO ₃ & (slag) aligned
